The NFL world is back in Indianapolis for the annual rite of February known as the scouting combine. During the next six days at Lucas Oil Stadium, 335 invited draft prospects will go through a battery of medical, on-field and mental tests in hopes of either solidifying or improving their draft stock.

When the draft begins May 8, the Bengals will have the 24th pick in the first round. They are likely to have nine picks overall once compensatory selections are announced next month. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock called this the deepest draft group he has seen in 10 years.
